“Hey, you, Viking! Your village was plundered last night, and all its treasure taken! Embark on a quest to find 18 precious objects and restore honour to your village! But first you have to show what you know about the vikings.”

The Viking app takes the user on an exciting journey into the Viking’s culture. The app is an interactive quiz for mobile devices that guides the user through the exhibition "The Vikings“. By answering questions he gets to know the highlights of the exhibition in a playful way. The app is not only an experience inside the museum but can also be played at home.

Key to the app is the treasure that has been stolen from the user’s village. It includes the most outstanding objects of the exhibition: Golden cloak pins, iceskating blades made of bone, magnificent swords, glass beads, mysterious runes and much more. The user needs to find and collect the objects. But first he needs to answer questions about the objects and Viking culture. To find hints he is asked to go to the corresponding room in the exhibition. Whenever he gets a question right, he regains an object. The goal is to find all the treasure objects and restore honour to his village. The app motivates viking-fans to wander through the exhibition and experience it in a new way while playing. Additionally, the user can share his high-score with his friends and win his own Viking treasure by entering a sweepstake.

The app also links to our two-part drama documentary “Viking Women” and to the online Serious Game “ISUNGUR – Save your Viking Village”.
